Shannon O’Brien Collins serves as our Youth Minister. She has spent many years teaching both elementary and high school aged students in many of our Catholic schools in the Diocese of Biloxi. She has always felt a calling to work with the teens in this capacity.

Shannon was raised on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. As a child, she was a member of St. Clare Parish and attended St. Clare Elementary School and Our Lady Academy. Between being born into a very strong Catholic family and the lessons of the Catholic schools she attended, Shannon realized her great love for Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and the Catholic faith. Her desire is that all teens can experience this great love.

Shannon and her husband, Michael, have three daughters... Kaitlin, Caroline, and Mary Michael.
